  • Volume 7, 2014 27
    laberinto an electronic journal of early modern hispanic literatures and culture volume 7, 2014 27 “¡Ay, reino mal gobernado!”: The Monarchy in Mira de Amescua’s Las desgracias del rey don Alfonso, el Casto Matthew D. Stroud Trinity University Until relatively recently, the conventional wisdom regarding the comedia held that the vast and remarkable cultural production of Spain’s Golden Age not only mirrored its political dominance but served as imperial propaganda in the effort to project the Hapsburg monarchy, the Castilian language, the Iberian political and economic systems, and the Roman Catholic religion both at home and abroad.1 More recent scholarship has found the relationship between imperial cultural production, politics, and society to be much more complicated, porous, and nuanced. Baroque art and literature teem with representations of racial and sexual diversity, class distinctions, and national identities, and the comedia is no different. Catherine Swietlicki has written that “Lope is capable of hearing the full presence of authentic alien voices, of tempering them by the oppositional process, and then writing the voices of the otherness with creative understanding” (219-20), and the same can be said for the genre as a whole. This willingness to explore and, at times, embrace, diversity in both political and cultural matters reveals not just an unwillingness to accept the imperial project in toto but an ongoing effort to criticize its aims and methods and expose the fissures, gaps, and inconsistencies in the monolithic imperial edifice. Even scholars who find it implausible that contemporary playwrights should have created openly subversive works performed in the center of empire still acknowledge that so many plays depict monarchs in a less than flattering light.

EMBODIED CONTESTATION: ALTERNATIVE RITUAL CONCLUSIONS ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO by CLARE VAN HOLM Under the Direction of Kathryn McClymond, PhD ABSTRACT Despite its nearly thousand year history as a Christian penitent ritual, the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage has undergone rapid transformation in the last three decades, attracting a specific community of people who see themselves as “authentic” Camino pilgrims. Upon arrival at the shrine of Santiago, the traditional end of the pilgrimage route, many pilgrims express feelings of dissatisfaction. Drawing upon field research and interviews, this paper analyzes the practices of pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago route, at the shrine in Santiago de Compostela, and at the alternative conclusion site in the Galician coastal town of Finisterre. I argue that pilgrim dissatisfaction relates to pilgrim experiences in Santiago that are incongruous with their pilgrimage up until that point. In response, pilgrims have created alternative ritual conclusions that more closely relate to their experience on the Camino route and affirm their identity as “authentic” pilgrims.

  • An Educational Journey on the Camino De Santiago
    UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT SUMMER 2017 (May 23 - June 1) Hiking Through History: An Educational Journey on the Camino de Santiago McKew Devitt, Senior Lecturer Romance Languages The Camino de Santiago is truly an amazing cultural experience. The ‘Way of St. James’ is a pilgrimage route that transverses the northern part of Spain, starting at two points at the border with France and ending in the city of Santiago de Compostela in the province of Galicia. The trail offers a plethora of historical, religious, and cultural contexts to teach students about Spain and also its relation to Europe. From its origins during the times of the reconquista to its current status as UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Camino provides a unique opportunity for students who are interested in seeing Spain while following in the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who came before them. I have hiked the Camino several times and know first-hand the benefits it would offer students participating in a travel study course. We will start in the city of León and finish in Santiago de Compostela 12 days later, having covered 281 kilometers, or 175 miles. We will also be spending a full day in Madrid and have time to see the Prado museum and some of the other sites the capital has to offer. The intention for this course is to develop a travel study opportunity that would offer a once in a lifetime experience, an opportunity to see Spain from the unique perspective of the Camino. This course presents a challenge for anyone, no matter how physically fit they may be, and this should be a serious consideration before signing up for it.

  • The Camino De Santiago IV
    The Camino de Santiago IV In 1491, Finisterre was thought to be the end of the earth. During the Middle Ages, many pilgrims who completed their pilgrimage at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela would continue their walk, an additional 40 miles or so, to arrive here at the northernmost tip of Spain to look out over the Atlantic, nothing but endless ocean. This was as far as they could walk in this direction; this was their end of the earth. They must have wondered. In 2000, after completing my own pilgrimage, I took a bus to the base of those very same ocean-side bluffs and hiked up their sides so that I, too, could look at what they saw. I sat there for hours, looking. I also wondered. I don’t know what a religious experience is, and for this reason, I cannot say I have ever had such an experience, but I do know that those hours spent looking over the ocean from the end of the earth were memorable ones, hours that will never be erased until I am gone. Perhaps it was the afterglow of accomplishment of having walked 450 miles, perhaps it was the relief I felt because I no longer had to force myself to strap on a backpack and undertake yet another nine-hour walk, or perhaps I was simply on holiday. I do not know. Perhaps it was the stillness of the day or the rustle of the waves below, the touch of salt in the air, or the joyful shriek of the gull.

DRAFT Prologue to Mondariz, Vigo, Santiago. this delightful book gives a wonderful insight into the Edwardian tourist industry and the early promotion of the treasures of galicia in Britain. it points not only to the wonderful cultural and natural heritage on offer but emphasises the quality of the experience and in particular the hospitality received by visitors to Mondariz. Wind the clock forward one hundred years or so and we find the treasures are still ex- tant though the competition for tourism has increased substantially across the globe. From my own experience a recent stay at Balneario de Mondariz perfectly encapsulates all the favourable comments reflected in this book. the conservation of the cultural and natural heritage is of fundamental importance to the well-being of society. the national trust in England, Wales and northern ireland, a non-governmental organisation founded in 1895, is an exemplar in this respect, having today over 4 million members and employing 6000 staff and over 70,000 volunteers. its properties receive over 19 million visitors each year. in galicia the beginnings of such an organisation, in this case tesouros de galicia, is a brilliant and much needed concept and the hope is that, in time, it will spread to the whole of Spain.
